Ich hoffe mal für alle Star-Trek-Fans, dass Mongoose hier keinen solchen Müll baut wie beim Bab5-ACtA ...
Ich glaub ja eher dass das Katastrophe Nummer 5 wird.
Schaun mer mal, ob sie die Kiste auch wieder in den Sand setzen. Solange das System nicht 2 Jahre auf den Markt und etabliert ist, gehe ich garantiert kein Risiko ein...
Ja sicher es muß nicht dauernd etwas neues kommen, aber die Minis und Regeln müssen mindestens in Shops erhältlich sind, sonst stirbt ein System.
...im Prinzip kanns einem doch egal sein. 😉
Wenn man die Regeln und die Schiffchen die man haben möchte besitzt kann das System danach ruhig den Bach runter gehen. Ich finde, wir TT-Spieler müssen uns mal von der Denkweise lösen, dass ein TT-System so lange wir leben gepflegt werden muss. Bei einem herkömmlichen Brettspiel kräht da auch kein Hahn danach. ^_^
Just hours before this issue went to press, we signed a new joint-venture deal with Mongoose, which is one of the largest companies in the Adventure Game industry. They’re famous for numerous product lines, including miniatures and roleplaying games. This deal includes three immediate elements, but the future is as open as space and as exciting as a supernova.
Something we have mentioned many times is that retailers only stock the top five or 10 companies (with the proverbial “one shelf” reserved for the other 40 hard-copy publishers, most of which are in less than 10% of stores). Mongoose is in 90% of the retail game stores in the US, Canada, the UK, and many other countries. This contract means that there will now be several first-class products in every retailer with logos on them for the Star Fleet Universe and for ADB, Inc. Each joint venture book will include advertising for all of our Star Fleet Universe products, giving us more exposure to the mass gaming market than we have had since 1982.
This is their well-known space combat game, designed for massive battles with dozens of miniature starships. The new joint-venture deal provides for the production of a series of beautiful hardback rulebooks that will bring together the ships of the Star Fleet Universe and the game system of A Call to Arms. This worked very well for the Starmada product line, and should work even better for the much more widely sold A Call to Arms series.
Our new joint venture deal with Mongoose includes a provision that they are going to replace (over a period of a couple of years) every existing Starline 2400 ship with a new computer-generated design. (We call this Starline 2500, but they plan to market it under another brand yet to be selected.) The first ships will appear in late 2011, and ships will then follow every month or two. This will include some entirely new ships. It may also, from time to time, including special limited-production (minor variant) ships available only for a short time, or as part of special offers.
This is truly exciting news. New production ships will be fancier, and those in the vocal and vociferous minority who constantly complained that our ships were “not good enough for the modern market” will get his wish. Everyone who has an extensive collection can keep it, or perhaps slowly replace it with new designs. (The existing 2400 line could be used for Early Years if you want, or the new 2500 designs could be used for X-ships.)
